Pheidolini Emery, 1877 junior synonym of current valid taxon Attini Smith, 1858

Pheidolidae Emery, 1877b: 72 Type-genus: Pheidole

Pheidolini as group of Myrmicidae: Emery, 1877b: 72 [Pheidolidae].
Pheidolina as subtribe of Myrmicini: Emery, 1924f: 357.
Pheidolini as tribe of Myrmicinae: Forel, 1893b: 165 [Pheidolii]; Emery, 1914e: 35 [Pheidolini]; Emery, 1916a: 125 [Pheidolini]; Forel, 1917: 241; Arnold, 1920a: 404; Emery, 1921c: 49; Wheeler, 1922: 661, 670 [Pheidolini]; Brown, 1949a: 48; Chapman & Capco, 1951: 131; Smith, 1979: 1357 [Pheidolini]; Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990: 16; Bolton, 1995b: 14; Bolton, 2003: 63, 228.
Pheidolini as junior synonym of Attini: Ward et al., 2015: 77.
[Pheidolini as senior synonym of Attini: Fernández & Serna, 2019: 829.]
[Note: the name Attini (1858) is easily senior to Pheidolini (1877), but Fernández & Serna, 2019: 829, suggest Pheidolini as the name for the tribe, apparently so that Attini can be reserved for the Neotropical fungus growers. The compiler of this catalogue maintains temporal priority, pending an appeal by the authors to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, the only body which can approve such a drastic change of priority and usage; the proposed change is not supported here.]
